Subject: RE: FITNESS & Declutter 2022 - Pandemic redux
I'm wearing a pair of size 12 Capri pants I haven't worn in a very long time. They're kind of snug on my tender knee so not the best to wear right now, but it's a pleasure to get into them. In years past I've worn size 8; for now I'll be content to get into the size 10-12 range (it depends on the manufacturer how they fit versus the size they say they are. And this had changed drastically over the decades.)

This is the last day of ice water in the cooler on the porch; it's supposed to cool and possibly rain over the next week. I'll wash the dogs today on the last dry day so they can get all muddy in the week to come. ;-)

The forest floor has returned, so I'll vacuum and sweep in time for trash day tomorrow and let the guys in the big truck tote off a bunch of the dog hair. I could have knit several dogs this summer from all of the hair they've lost.

I have a bunch of old VHS players here that I've picked up on the cheap at Goodwill; it's time to test and list them on eBay. People are wanting to convert their tapes to digital but the players aren't sold much any more. I list them as working if that is the case, or if I think it's a little dicey, for parts or repair. There are people out there who fix these things. I have a testing station set up with a TV and the appropriate cables. I have a couple I use myself with the old computer and a Canopus converter box; sometimes I come across a really good old one then swap it out with one of my already working ones and list it. I suppose I could start doing this on the side but it would go slow compared to some of the companies that advertise they do it.
